President Trump Said What?

Tweet

Let me just start off by stating that I really don't care what your opinions about President Trump are. In fact I can guarantee most of the people running around the net talking about him have no clue what they are talking about. They are lemmings that just parrot main stream media talking points. So if you want to make claims that have no basis in reality like "Trump is a racist." Then go right ahead. It's your right to say whatever you want. I get it. He's not on your team, so he must be bad. But can you please do some actual research before you go chuckling it up and repeating what you heard on CNN? According to CNN one of their White House "sources" claimed that President Trump said to the Canadian prime minister something like "Didn't you guys burn down the White House in 1812?" Referring to the War of 1812. That of course set liberal interweb hangouts ablaze with laughter and mocking. "Thrump is so shtupit. lol" "OMG it was the Brits orange man." Liberals, pay attention. No one cares if you don't like the president. If you want to hate then you go right ahead and hate. But please do yourselves a favor, and do just a little bit of research before you go repeating CNN. - And this isn't even about CNN's history of fake sources. Did Canadians burn the White House during the war of 1812? "In 1814, during the War of 1812, the White House was set ablaze by British troops[32] during the Burning of Washington, in retaliation for burning Upper Canada's Parliament Buildings in the Battle of York; much of Washington was affected by these fires as well. Only the exterior walls remained, and they had to be torn down and mostly reconstructed because of weakening from the fire and subsequent exposure to the elements, except for portions of the south wall. Of the numerous objects taken from the White House when it was ransacked by British troops, only two have been recovered. Employees and slaves rescued a painting of George Washington,[32] and in 1939, a Canadian man returned a jewelry box to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, claiming that his grandfather had taken it from Washington. " - wikipedia Now what was a Canadian man's dad doing with White House property? Simple Answer. Canada was a province of Britain. And yes, Canadians were employed as troops in the British Military. So yes, it was indeed Canada that torched the White House?. Canada didn't exist you say? "After the successful American War of Independence, the 1783 Treaty of Paris recognized the independence of the newly formed United States and set the terms of peace, ceding British North American territories south of the Great Lakes to the new country.[57] The American war of independence also caused a large out-migration of Loyalists the settlers who had fought against American independence. Many moved to Canada, particularly Atlantic Canada, where their arrival changed the demographic distribution of the existing territories. New Brunswick was in turn split from Nova Scotia as part of a reorganization of Loyalist settlements in the Maritimes.[58] To accommodate the influx of English-speaking Loyalists in Central Canada, the Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the province of Canada into French-speaking Lower Canada (later Quebec) and English-speaking Upper Canada (later Ontario), granting each its own elected legislative assembly.[59] The Canadas were the main front in the War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom." -wikipedia "The name of Canada has been in use since the founding of the French colony of Canada in the 16th century." - wikipedia "European explorer Jacques Cartier transcribed the word as "Canada" and was the first European to use the word to refer not only to the village of Stadacona but also to the neighbouring region and to the Saint Lawrence River, which he called rivière de Canada during his second voyage in 1535.[19][20] By the mid 1500s, European books and maps began referring to this region as Canada. Canada became the name of a colony in New France that stretched along the St. Lawrence River.[21][22] The terms "Canada" and "New France" were often used interchangeably during the colonial period.[21]" - wikipedia "After the British conquest of New France (including ceding of the French colony, Canada) in 1763, the colony was renamed the Province of Quebec. Following the American revolution and the influx of United Empire Loyalists into Quebec, the colony was split on 26 December 1791 into Upper and Lower Canada, sometime being collectively known as "The Canadas", the first time that the name "Canada" was used officially, in the British regime.[23]" -wikipedia It took me less than a minute of research to find that.
